My 5s keeps loosing signal , 02 say it the latest update on ios 7 causing this , is this true and what's happening about it plz ?

My iPhone 5s keeps loosing signal , I have contacted 02 , and they say it's to do with the latest ios 7 update , my messages and voice mail doesn't come through for a day or two after they are sent or left , this shouldn't be happening to a phone that is only a few months old !

Think about it. If it were truly the iOS update, EVERYONE who has updated (and that's millions and millions of users) would be having problems. It would be front page news.
Get a replacement SIM from O2 and see if this improves the situation. If not, then basic troubleshooting steps are restart, reset, restore from backup and restore as new device. If those don't work, then you have a hardware issue with the phone (not a problem with the iOS 7 update) and will need to bring it to Apple for servicing.

My iphone 4 only turns on when its plugged into a wall and when it finally turns on it lasts for about a minute then it turns off and while its on the signal says searching, what should i do?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem. You likely have a bad battery.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one with a new battery for $79. They do not fix yours.

Replace the battery yourself if you are up to it. A replacement costs about $10

I keep loosing signal on iPhone 4

I keep loosing signal on my iPhone 4 even though I'm in a good signal area for O2. There are no faults as other people are not having the same issue. I use a case so I don't grip the phone wrong. The issue has gotten worse over the past 2 weeks. I have used another sim card and that doesent work. Does anyone have any idea what the problem could be. I look after my phone and this issue is really annoying me.

reset the phone
reset network setting

My iPhone 4S keeps loosing signal when 3G connection is on how can this be it worked fine until the latest software update

I recently updatedy iPhone 4S to the latest software now when I have 3G turned on it says searching for network and I can not make or receive calls 02 say 3G has to be turned off but that's the reason I have this phone is to access the Internet when away from home l. Please help anyone?

Yeah, my iPhone 4S sometimes manages to connect to wifi for about 10 minutes now. I think there is a problem related with the antenna because when the phone heats up, the WIFI stops working. I had a similar experience with my older iPhone 4S which I bought from the U.S.A. (unlocked version) but after a couple of days, WIFI icon grayed out and I wasn't able to switch it on and off. Now the phone I'm using was bought in Turkey from a local carrier, (it's not locked I suppose) I'm planning on upgrading to an iPhone 6 and I will try to get my 4S repaired. I hope it is something related with software rather than hardware. Because a friend of mine sent his phone to the local Apple store to be fixed, they sent the phone back claiming that they had repaired it. But in about 2 days, the phone shut itself down and never turned off back again lol. I don't want to experience the same thing. But anyway, thanks for your answer. At least now I know that I'm not the only one that has this problem .

I have this issue too, it says Unable to Check for Update

I have reset my airport by pressing the reset on the back of the airport extreme. I heard that i can downgrade on the airport and firmware..can you guys advice on what to do about my situation? thank you.

Mac and iPhone keeps loosing iCloud keychain

Hi
I have several iOS units and several Macs. One iPhone and one of my Macs keeps losing the iCloud keychain - which means I have to reactivate the access either via security code sent as SMS or granting access from another device.
Why is this happening?
/Erik

I had an Android phone which I sybnced Calander and Contacts through Google. When I got an iPhone (and Mountain Lion) I set up an iCloud account. I also plugged in my iPhone by the USB cable to activate it.
Now I have two and sometimes three sets of appointments and contacts! Can someoen explain what gets synced how and when?
I have:
"From my Mac"
(Gmail account is here)
"iCloud"
I can delete the gmail account with no problem - that seems to be only a sync setting. But the iCloud vs My Mac looks like two seperate copies of everything, and I want to be careful what I delete.
I plan to use mostly iCloud for syncing, but I do want to be able to plug the iPhone into the Mac from time to time to manage apps and trnafer music.
TIA,
Walt

My Iphone 5 keeps dropping signal (no service) in good service areas?

Help my iphone 5 keeps dropping signal saying no service then after a while it gets service again, sometimes this can take up to an hour. Also if i toggle airplane mode it sometimes comes back or if i switch the phone on and off it comes back. This is happening in areas of good signal. Back in January my phone did get wet but i dryed it off and its been faultless ever since apart from this recent problem of no signal. I have an Genius appointment booked for this Thursday to see what they will do about it, will they just blame it on the water eventhough i have seen this problem time and time again on the Internet and the best way seems to replace the faulty phone.?

Try restarting your iPhone. Press and hold the power and home button for 10 seconds and then turn your device back on. Otherwise, the place where you currently are may not have very good signal for ATT.

My signal is not working it keeps saying I have full signal then searching!!!

My signal is not working it keeps saying I have full signal then searching!!

Hello my fellow iPhone 4s users...
i have been going around the web for solution to the lost signal. Upon further investigation and diagnosis with my iPhone and other iPhone with a combination of chnage of sim between phones, resetting the network, hard reset and restoring a few times, it still persist. My analysis is that the iOS 5 >Settings>General>Cellular Data is the culprit. It does not have an option of switching between Edge and 3G (unlike the previous iOS lower than 5.0 or 5.0.1) It always stays on 3G. Now comes the trickiest part of my analysis. For networks having mid to low signal in areas, the updated dual antenna of the iPhone 4s switches automatically between 3G and normal signal. However, since it has no option to go down to Edge, it "automatically revert back to the original signal status". Sometimes from a very strong signal to a low signal area, it shows full bar of signal. but when you try to send an sms or make a call, it fails.
Conclusion:
I believe Apple has been digging deep with their softwate developers and checking the hardware of the iPhone 4s. And if my analysis is correct, they may have to incorporate the option of EDGE and 3G again.
Temporary Solution:
For low reception/signal areas, actually NONE... we have to wait for the update by Apple.
So either use our iPhone 4s as an expensive iPod on poor reception/signal areas and transfer our sim cards temporarily to another phone or have your phone put to AIRPLANE MODE on-off again.

HT5622 A month ago I dropped my iPhone in water and it works fine except for the signal it always says "searching". Can you help with this problem?

About a Month ago I dropped we went swimming and I dropped my iPhone in water and it works fine except at the top for the signal it says searching. Can you please help me with this problem?

It's very likely that the phone is permanently damaged - water corrodes the very fine copper strips which form the circuitry very quickly - but only a service engineer can tell you what its condition is and whether it can be restored to health. If possible take it to an Apple Store (make an appointment) for a free assessment. Don't be surprised if you are told you will have to replace it.
